Probably the absolute best in the American car line up today, which is saying something, considering the fact that 'Merica is the best country in the world. The 'Vette is usually backed by a Small Block Chevy V8, and a 4/6 speed transmission depending on the generation. So far, Chevy's made a Stingray Corvette in every good generation of Corvettes. The newest one being the 2014 C7 Corvette. Look it up. Read about it. Look at it. Worship it. This message brought to you by GM. Good evening, 'Merica.

When you drive fast in a corvette (or other hot convertible car), causing your hair to get very messily tangled.
"I almost got away with driving my dad's expensive new car, but when he saw my corvette hair, he knew and grounded me on the spot."

1 - a toyota prius that is mainly parked in a garage and only taken out for special drives or occasions.
2 - a toyota prius that the owner thinks is the shit because he/she is driving green.

Arrogant Psychological projection by Corvette owners. They make an average of $90,000+ a year and assume teens with Civics or other economical import are ignorant for not buying a Corvette or 500hp Mustang. For some reason they have the delusional thought that a 17 year old working at Wal-Mart or Auto Zone can afford a $55,000 uninsurable car that gets 16 MPG @ 3.55 a gallon. They claim these teens spent 50 grand on their Civics but really most are just 3000 dollar cars with a loud muffler, crappy wing and a K&N air filter.
These guys are usually the same assholes that think everyone not on a crappy Harley-Davidson wants one.

Corvette Frank: When are going to get rid of that ricer and get a Corvette.
Teenager: That's a typical Vette owners Corvette Logic. I'll get one when McDonalds starts paying $120,000 a year. Dude I could not pay your insurance rates and you are 58.
Corvette Frank: Back in my day I had a 1965 Pontiac GTO 389/360hp
Teenager: Let me know when gas hits 29 cents a gallon again and Maybe I'll get one.

Affordable US sportscar; great performance though it lacks the refinement of what it's trying to compete with. Features an hand built all-aluminum OHV 7.0L LS7 small block producing 505 HP @ 6300 RPM and 470 lb-ft of TQ @ 4800 RPM with a redline of 7000 RPM. The powerplant is hooked to a close-ratio 6 speed rear transaxle. It weighs in at around 3130 lbs and the chassis is made of hydroformed aluminum and magnesium. The body is made of composites and carbon fiber. It features fully independent suspension consisting of double wishbones on all four corners, dampeners, anti-roll bars, and two transverse single ply leaf springs instead of coil springs. The use of leaf springs in the Corvette is not to be confused with leaf spring suspensions used in trucks and older cars; they are two completely different things. The Corvettes transverse leaf springs serve the same purpose as coil springs in other vehicles, but they are lighter, allow for the vehicles mass to be closer to the ground, and allow for lighter anti-roll bars since they can assume some of that duty. They're main disadvantage is that they are more expensive than coil springs.
The Z06 offers very impressive performance for it's price; it's track times are on par with some of the greatest production performance cars in the world

The new C6 Z06 Corvette may lack the refinement of its European competition but on the track it can give them a run for their money.
Only rich snobs that aren't true auto enthusiasts would insult the new C6 Z06.
